A Computational Approach to Optimal Deactivation of Cochlear Implant Electrodes
The goal of the present study is to use computationally driven models of speech understanding in CI users to guide the search for which combination of active electrodes can yield the best speech understanding for a specific patient. It is hypothesized that model-recommended settings will result in significantly better speech …
fNIRS in Pediatric Hearing Aids
Pilot phase. Monocentric, non-controlled, non-randomized, open-label study evaluating the capacity of the functional near-infrared functional neuroimaging (fNIRS) technique to translate temporal cortical activity in response to a speech stimulus in normo-hearing and deaf children with cochlear implants. Hemodynamic changes are expected to be observed that indicate brain activity following the …
Evaluation of Hearing Aids Rehabilitation Within Age-related Hearing Loss Population.
Hearing aids restore efficiently some auditory functions in age-related hearing loss (ARHL or presbycusis) providing to the elderly an access to oral communication and a return to social life. However, a most of the assessments of their efficacy focus on speech recognition. Spatial hearing and localization are anothers important auditory …
Family ASL: Longitudinal Study of Deaf Children and Hearing Parents Who Receive Services to Support the Learning of ASL
This study examines the development of American Sign Language by deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children and their parents.
Early Age-Related Hearing Loss Investigation Pilot Study
The purpose of this clinical trial pilot is to obtain feasibility and pilot data necessary to inform the hearing intervention being designed for a larger R01 clinical trial that seeks to determine whether best practice hearing aid intervention impacts hearing-related outcomes in adults with hearing loss aged 55 to 75 …
The RW-Precision-Coupler Clinical Investigation
The RW-Precision-Coupler Clinical Investigation is prospective, non-randomized, open label, single subjects repeated measures, longitudinal monocentric trial. The primary aim of this pre-market clinical investigation is to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of VSB together with the VSB RWP-Coupler in the treatment of hearing loss. As secondary aims are to …
Multi-center Study to Examine Changes to the Environment Surrounding the Electrodes in the Cochlea and to Capture the Most Challenging Listening Environments Experienced by Persons With a Cochlear Implant
This early feasibility study aims to collect pilot data on impedance measurements in real-world environments and to collect real-world and difficult listening situations and the factors impacting this, reflecting situations the subjects encounter during their daily life outside of the clinic. Improving the monitoring of both aspects may lead to …
A Study Evaluating the Application of Hearing Aid Technologies to Signal Processing for Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients
A feasibility, prospective, multi-centre, repeated measures investigation evaluating the application of hearing aid technologies to signal processing for adult cochlear implant recipients
Auditory-Cognitive Training to Optimize Outcomes for Older CI Users
The proposed study will investigate whether an auditory brain training program can improve cochlear implant (CI) outcomes in older post-lingually deafened CI users. The study will evaluate the potential benefit of training on speech recognition performance, psychosocial and cognitive function.
Improving Access and Affordability of Adult Hearing Healthcare
This project will address quality of care issues associated with hearing loss in adults who have mild-to-moderate hearing loss and who have no access to hearing healthcare. Through the use of three different interventions involving personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), it will lead to options that will increase access and …
